I rather think the ultimate decision doesnt lie on the manager which I had the feeling many times in the past and/or we cant/dont want to afford it.

screw henderson dude is overrated as hell and thinks he is ten times better than he is.
People like Murtough and Arnold have no clue what they're doing, the former didn't want to negotiate with any manager last season to not hurt Ole's feelings. He's a bigger clown than Woodward.
Really, the best thing that could happen to the club is to get the Glazers and anyone associated with them out.
It's negligence. Pure and simple.
Agreed.
Nah, he will be fine. So will DDG
hopefully, we'll see. My guess is more like 200-250k
We are watching the games and simply think hes not good enough for the reasons pointed out many times, your argument on the other hand is statistics and there is much more to it than only the goalkeeper when we talk about how many goals we conceded. So its a flawed argument.
If thats the case why not stick Butland in there. And get rid of DDGs wages?
There is no way to prove an other keeper wouldnt have been able to make those saves. Martinez probably made as many truly world class saves as Dave this season with his last ditch tackles.
My only hope at this point is we are truely convinced and correct(!) that someone like Kovar or an other young guy we buy can make the step up to be No.1 after easing him in over the next season.
And I do agree, that Striker is first priority but GK is right after.
If it was up to me I would have kept Romero on 80k, not gave DDG a new contract and tried to get a new No.1 right then and there. I even would have prefered Romero as No.1. and got a new striker instead.
Ok , now you are just trolling, at least I hope so

It's in the article that he's not guaranteed to be the number 1 and that we're looking for another GK with multiple sources linking us with Raya from Brentford. I think you might be overreacting a little here.
Daddy, chill!
Whether he's backup or not, the most important thing is that we reduce his wages. We have a long list of priorities and De Gea is relatively far down on that list.
At least wait until EOS before making any fecking stupid decisions !!
If his move to Real Madrid in 2015 went through, they’d have likely dropped and sold him by 2019
United clinging on to him does feel like poor management. His peak is passed

Bizarre
What seasons have we written off because of De Gea? This season? The one thats not finished? Or one on the past you've somehow convinced yourself that it was all on De Gea?
Even the concept of blaming one player for the failings of a team over the course of a season make zero sense in football.
What use is he to us as a number two? He is severely lacking in too many areas. City and Liverpool rightly wouldn't swap Ortega or Kelleher for him. Plus the fact that even on his reduced salary, he would still probably be earning more than Alisson.
We may struggle to beat a press but we we create enough chances currently to win most games if we could put them away, very few of us think we can't do better than DDG but we could have the best keeper in the world but we still wouldn't score enough goals, that's why a CF that scores is the most important priority
Agreed. Do you know the best way we can reduce his wages? By not paying him at all.
Every season that De Gea starts as our number one is a write off.
1. Instead of what? We need a striker and a midfielder ahead of that.
2. Buy just 1 keeper for the entire season? Who's on the bench/comes in if he gets injured?
It's as simple as this.
A quality back up keeper that we'd need to switch up our build up play to accomodate and is shite at penalties for when he comes in for cup games?
Sounds like the worst back up keeper you can get
Which makes him at least eight times better than Dave.
With his uncanny ability to shrink under the spot light on the biggest stages he wouldn't have lasted that long at Real Madrid .
He is lucky United has been mess through out his stint here which has allowed him to escape greater scrutiny .

As much as I want us to upgrade the goalkeeper position, offering an extension is not a bad idea.
We already majorly short in other areas on the pitch so why add a GK to the list of must have additions in the summer.
We absolutely do need a new keeper but at least with this we aren’t leaving ourselves short if we rightly prioritise other areas, such as a striker.

In some ways I am quite impressed that you've managed to bring a higher level of nonsense into a thread that isn't a matchday thread.
Right, but again I'm not sure the point you're making
The initial comment was ddg isn't the reason we lost
He is
If you're saying he's not the reason we didn't win, that's a completely different point
Sure, but there's like 10 players that we can and should sell before De Gea. And we desperately need a center forward. And a center midfielder. And a center back. And it's not like our right flank sparks a lot of joy. AWB and Dalot are fine defenders, but they don't help much going forward. And Antony has gotten enough shit recently, but yeah...
There are more pressing matters.
There's only one person talking nonsense here. De Gea has done a right number on some of you lot!
You can say that we 'desperately need this' and we 'desperately need that', however, we desperately need a goalkeeper. I'm sick to death of this issue being put back year after year.
Devastated that he will be here next season, likely as number one. Has been probably our biggest issue bar the CF position. Lost a lot of faith in EtH and his staff, they seem absolutely clueless regarding him. He plays every match and he hinders us every match.
Devastated?!?
I’ll admit as readily as anyone that he needs replacing, but it’s 3rd / 4th priority behind ST, CM, CB/RB.
Of course it matters. We don't have unlimited funds. We have to prioritise. Is this not obvious? We signed WW on loan in January ffs
He makes the entire team worse, I would have him directly behind ST. Eriksen / Fred aren't too great, but far less problems than this goalkeeper who invites pressure every single game, brings insecurity in the backline and makes terrible errors that lead to goals. He's actually a huge problem and would be by far the biggest if we didn't have the two worst strikers in the league op front.
To be fair, he could easily be the worst goalkeeper in the league. The occassional gallery save doesn't change that. We could finally get rid of him, and we decide to renew his contract, just awful stuff. He doesn't even make the NT.
feck me. No one here is wishing us to fail, we just don't have unlimited funds to improve every position we need to improve on in the summer.
The failure to score lost us the game and/or cost us a point. De Geas cost us a point.
De Gea isn't the reason we lost. Just as Shaw wasn't the reason we lost to Brighton.
Not of what you said isn't true. We do need to move on from DDG. There isn't really anyone saying we don't. We'd just be shocked if we have the ability to do it this summer.
Far more than one...
Well the ‘worst GK in the league’ is just nonsense. Some mentioning Raya as a replacement when DDG has a better pass completion rate.
- 12th in save %
- 1st in clean sheets
- 6th for GA per 90mins
- 2 mistakes leading to goals
Admittedly I’d look to move him on this summer if the right move is available, but to say he’s right behind ST when we’re playing a LB at CB is just asinine.

Erm, losing that point means hes the reason we lost ... Yikes
I remember us fans shitting our pants then, when we might lose "the best GK in the world"....
If only..
That's for the sole reason that our two best CB's are injuried which should be an anomaly. Give me Raya over DDG.
